Dogtown is the location of the first placer gold find east of the Sierras and is within sight of the turnoff to Bodie. Some of the stone home sites and diggins can be seen across the small creek and valley. The area has been obviously worked over for it’s gold.
After parking head south to the road that leads north and down from the main highway. The letterbox can be found below the 7th guardrail post from the northern end nearest the information monument. There is a snow marker near the 7th post. From the lower road look under an over hanging rock on the left as you are facing the guardrail. The letterbox is under a movable rock.

When researching our clues please be aware that when previous searchers list “ATTEMPTED” on the clue sheets it may reflect more on their abilities as finders than indicate whether the box is viable or not. We do monitor our clues and boxes pretty well and appreciate the notes written to us by those that find or attempt our letterboxes.

Please contact placer directly or through the LBNA chat list regarding status rather than unofficial databases. Up to date status can only be ascertained from placer as other information services will not have current data. The placer does not appreciate listing information about this letterbox on unauthorized information services.
